I just got an email from the expert who wrote the article at
www.spywareinfo.com/articles/hijacked/prevent.php, and even he didn't
know about OE automatically "opening" messages (i.e. processing junk in
them even though the messages don't open in a new window) even with the
preview pane shut off.
He also accepted my suggestion to add the following change to his list
of things to help make IE at least a bit more secure (even though it's
still a far cry from the security, speed, and fun of using Firefox):
Scripting / Active Scripting: Enable=>prompt
Basically, this is all you need to do:
www.spywareinfo.com/articles/hijacked/prevent.php
At www.net-integration.net/forums.html they specifically say that they
can understand people who post without reading the FAQs etc. first.
At http://forums.spywareinfo.com they don't seem to be so understanding
of people who don't do some reading first. They've got some great info
there:

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
